Chapter 164
"Strange... where did that kid run off to? I wonder if he's the captain's brother or son."
Kiana is just an ordinary person now. Although she has an extraordinary physical strength, she still couldn't catch up with the child who ran away in advance.
But she still listened to the boy's advice. After all, she played a lot of games, so she avoided pedestrians along the way and went to the west pier to take a look. The pier can only be described as ordinary and shabby.
When she came back, she saw the little black figure again. She chased again, but still couldn't catch up.
"You're really good at running."
Kiana saw someone outside and quickly hid in the alley. As soon as she entered the alley, she found two men standing there, looking at her coldly.
But when she blinked, the two men had a friendly smile on their faces. Kiana thought she had seen it wrong.
""Little girl, what are you doing?" The shorter man asked curiously.
"Nothing!" Kiana responded immediately, then turned back and ran away.
Don't be fooled by the friendly smiles of those people. Poor mountains and bad waters produce unruly people.
Comparing"two weird and strange adult men" and"a kid who looks like the captain", Kiana trusts the latter more.
Since she has been discovered, she can only run away first.
"Why did the little girl run away?"
"I don’t know, did you scare someone?"
"You scared people.……"
There were still such conversations coming from behind, and it seemed that there was no intention to catch up.
There were also a few people walking in the street in their daily lives. Although the houses with blue tiles, white walls and pointed roofs looked a bit like ancient Shenzhou style, the clothes and mobile phones of the people here were indeed modern.
And those passers-by did not have any abnormal reactions when they saw Kiana appear. They just looked at her normally, and then gave way because they saw her running in a hurry and were afraid of being hit.
This made Kiana, who had been running for a while, feel that it was meaningless, so she slowly stopped and stood on the side of the road to observe the pedestrians. She had not forgotten the expressions of the two people in the alley. Most people might think that they were dazzled, but she didn't think so.
But she was observing nervously for an entire afternoon, but she didn't find anything at all. Kiana's legs were sore. As it got dark, there were fewer and fewer pedestrians on the street, and the lights gradually lit up.
Kiana didn't stand there stupidly anymore, but took advantage of the last rays of the sun to come to the coast, intending to run around the island first, looking for hidden clues and familiarizing herself with the terrain.
After a circle, it was completely dark, but it was this run that really made her run to the destination.
There was a forest in the northwest of the island by the sea. When Kiana passed by here, she keenly noticed the sound of people talking, so she stopped, walked slowly, and approached.
"Qingche, why did you ask me to come so early today? Aren’t your foster parents at home?
It was the little boy’s voice.
"Well, they said they were going to my uncle's house for dinner today, so I wanted to come early, to conserve my energy for tomorrow~"
There was another strange child's voice, but the voice hadn't changed yet, so Kiana couldn't tell whether it was a boy or a girl. At least from the distance in the tree, she had short hair, so it was probably a boy.
"Uncle? Ah, that person, ugh... Never mind him. You are right. Go to bed early tonight and conserve your energy! I am really looking forward to tomorrow.……"
"That is... September, tell me, when we leave this island, where are we going to live?"
"Well... the orphanage, after all, we are orphans, staying here is just the wrong place"
"Well, an orphanage is better than being bullied here...Okay! Then we'll go to the orphanage, and hopefully they won't chase us out."
"Don't worry, we'll call the police as soon as we get out. None of the adults or children here are good people. The older ones will be sent to prison, and the younger ones will be sent to...ah, I forgot what it's called."
"Haha, even a man like Jiuyue would look embarrassed."
"snort"
"very nice……"
"What?"
"It's great to have you around, September. At school and outside, thank you for always protecting me."
"Stupid, isn't it natural for a boy to protect a girl? And you are my only friend and best relative! You are the only motivation for me to live on this island. You have been keeping me warm.……"
"Oh, why are you talking so cheesy? Go away, stay away from me."
"No"
"Don't come near me, it's disgusting."
"Never"
"Don't hug me."
"No"
"……In fact, it is you who has been supporting me to live, thank you."
Then the two children chatted for a while before leaving.
Kiana had a bad feeling. The two children made a promise to escape from the island and go to the land the next day. This kind of thing is usually called setting a flag in the game.
And anyone who sets a flag usually has no good ending, at least the things they set will never come true.
"Tonight, in other words, tomorrow is indeed a turning point."
Kiana looked at the two children who left separately, hesitated for a moment, and followed the little boy, because from the perspective of the plot, he was probably the key.
And he looked like the captain, but many things were the opposite of the captain.
For example, the captain liked to wear white clothes, but the little boy was dressed in black, without a trace of white.
For example, the captain was very polite in what he said and did, but the little boy was sarcastic and full of thorns.
For example, the captain was always calm and composed, and he was not impatient even when he was ridiculed or provoked; the little boy was impatient in everything he did, and his irritability was beyond words.
For example, the captain was always smiling, even when facing enemies and strangers; but the little boy...
There were various details. Kiana now felt that even if the little boy was not the captain, he was definitely related to the captain. She suspected that he was the captain's younger brother or elder brother.
So Kiana secretly followed the little boy all the way back to the residential area and saw him walk into a yard. The wall was not high. Kiana heard that there was no movement inside, so she followed him in. After eavesdropping under the window for a while, she found that there was no one else in the house except the little boy, and the little boy also went to sleep as soon as he entered the house.
"It's really a way to conserve energy.……"Kiana sighed.
She looked at the places where she could hide in the yard. There was a wing room that looked like it had not been used for a long time. It was used to store sundries.
The boy's parents would definitely come back soon if they were not there, so Kiana decided to hide in it first, and she could also listen to what the other party would say in secret.
After hiding, Kiana had the mind to think about what she had just discovered.
Looking at the decoration in the house, the boy did not seem to have any other brothers... Kiana's doubts resurfaced, and she began to think about the possibility that the other party was the captain, and the other party was the captain's son.
After all, Kiana did not have the ability to recognize age by looking at faces, but there were still only two speculations.
If it was the latter, the child might be in trouble tonight.
If it was the former... then tonight, the girl named Qingche might be in danger.
If Yae Kamiko, Kano Nana, and other people who had come into contact with the name Li Zhuche were here, they would probably be able to lock in the result by thinking of this.
But Kiana didn't know.
But Kiana also had her own way. She thought of a way to have the best of both worlds, which was to wake the boy up and ask him to find the girl and hide outside until the boat arrived tomorrow night, and she would guard them.
Kiana immediately prepared to leave, but before she could leave the room, the gate of the yard was opened, and two middle-aged people, a man and a woman, walked in.
"That damn bitch dared to kick me, I'd rather kill her……"The sound of a woman gnashing her teeth
"Shut up, don't talk about these things when you get home, don't you understand?" The man interrupted the woman in a low voice.
"……"
Wrong choice, that is to say, the person in the room is the captain! Now it should be not long before the little girl returns home, everything can still be saved!
Feeling the strength of her body, Kiana took out a baseball bat from the sundries and hid behind the door of the compartment.
……
A minute later, Kiana dragged the two into the wing room, tied them up with ropes, gagged them, and ran into the house.
"Captain... No, Li Jiuyue! Wake up! Something happened to Qingche!"
